Poker expamded in Florida

[jfreeman420]

Well it looks like what I and thousands of poker players here in Florida have been waiting for has finally passed into law. Charlie Crist passed bill SB 752 without his signature. This means that limit poker will be increased to allow $5/$5 games and no limit cash games are now legal. The problem with the law is that I have heard two interpretations. I have read the actual bill myself and the language is a bit confusing.

First it only talks about paramutuals. These are the horse and dog tracks. They are able to expand there hours in the card rooms. It also states that a no limit cash game will be allowed if the maximum required buy in does not exceed $100. Some people are saying that that's it. They will only have no limit games where you can buy in for $100. Others are saying that the maximum allowed minimum buy in for a game will be $100 meaning you could buy in for more. If anyone has any more information a reply would be helpful. I gues we'll have to wait and see.

Furthermore, there is no talk about casinos in the bill, only paramutuals. I assume the casinos on reservation property will be included as well. Does this mean that we can play some real no limit cash games at the Hard Rock and Coconut Creek Casinos? I hope so.

See you at the tables!!!

Easy come easy go............................

In just 5 short days the No limit action came and went. Check out this article:

Very dissapointing. What really gets me is why the Seminoles would stop the action if they didn't have to? Why do they care so much about being in line with the tracks?

I think the action will be back shortly. There is a thirst for high stakes action here in Florida. Back to the private games for now.

5 days was plenty for my brother to drive from Ohio and win a little over $25k! He actually did it in three!
